You will be happy with a stock flywheel. Check out my signature. I am more than happy with my results.

What exhaust back box are you using, i've got the ebay headers no cat's and a Janspeed backbox, but was wondering if the u-bends to the backbox would be to small and maybe a custom backbox with larger u-bends would be more beneficial

I have some swedish muffler on it now. I have tried many different aftermarket mufflers. I just went for the best made with the sound I wanted. A stock S muffler is just fine also with that motor. I would invest in some high flow cats.

M-96
It seems to me the guys with the 2.5 motors do OK with the LWFW but you jump the cubs with a much larger motor and people seem to get in trouble especially if everything is not perfectly balanced as a unit.
I am no expert but I believe Jack Raby is and I have heard him say more than once never use a LWFW on an M-96 motor. Proceed at your own risk and be careful. If you blow one of these motors the replacement is NOT CHEEP.
Just some thoughts.

Same here. I'm not here to get into right/wrong should/shouldn't. I just want to contribute to the community of information so folks can make their own decisions. I'm glad we've got voices from all sides of the issue.
